We washed & ironed, patched today. There were 3 fellows here this morning that goes around demonstrating washing machines, the Maytag’s. They wanted to see Papa, but he was out at Henry’s or rather up in the woods. This afternoon there was a man by the name of Herzog from Belleville here. He wanted to fix up landscaping. But we didn’t want to do it, so he left. This evening those washing machine men came here again & then Papa was at home.
